We received the very rare red finned giant gourami in two sizes, 5-7 cm (code 440923 on our stocklist) and 12-15 cm (code 440925). The species attains a similar size as the common giant gourami, eg 60 cm. O. laticlavius originates from Borneo. Fertile males develop a very prominent head structure and deep red fins that form a beautiful contrast to the black body. The pictures of the adult fish show how breathtaking beautiful this large fish can be – sadly we cannot offer that size.
